Rejection from Shock Totem today. Super Gluing myself back together for the rest of the evening.
What exactly flawed personality types do we have where we subject ourselves to this intentional torture?
I don't think of it as torture, because a lot of learning from life comes from our failures -- in fact, I'd say we learn more from our failures than from our successes.What exactly flawed personality types do we have where we subject ourselves to this intentional torture?
That must make me a playa, then.If I don't hurt some when they tell you they don't like it, I probably wasn't properly invested.
Lol, yeah, you're just looking to get your manuscript wet.That must make me a playa, then.
No shame in asking. I actually asked a similar question here. Basically, just be upfront to the editor and tell them that this story was once published on your blog (hopefully you took it down), and then let them decide if they still want it or not.I have a stupid question which might make you all roll your eyes and never speak to me again (sigh), BUT.... Ok, I know if you post something on a blog (even in the comments section) you lose first rights and some places won't take it (say Every Day Fiction). What if you take that story and add things to it (over 200 words). It has the basic story, but it has more details? Can it be submitted somewhere else (like EDF) that require first rights?

I'm finally getting responses! All Rs, unfortunately. I think I've gotten 4/4 responses in 2012 being Rs? So not a good start to the year.
